How do I set several different properties for PRE in
a CSS stylesheet, rather than resorting to this:
<BODY>
<PRE STYLE="font-family:monospac e;
font-size:0.95em;
width:40%;
border:red 2px solid;
color:red;
background-color:#FBB; ">
This is red
</PRE>
<PRE STYLE="font-family:monospac e;
font-size:0.95em;
width: 40%;
border:blue 2px solid;
color:blue;
background-color:#BBF; ">
This is blue
</PRE>
<PRE STYLE="font-family:monospac e;
font-size:0.95em;
width: 40%;
border:green 2px solid;
color:green;
background-color:#BFB; ">
This is green
</PRE>
</BODY>
(the above is just an example)

Would this do?
In CSS:
..pre1 {font-family:monospac e;
font-size:0.95em;
width:40%;
border:red 2px solid;
color:red;
background-color:#FBB;}
And so on.
In Body
<pre class="pre1">Th is is red</pre>

Specifying monospace is superfluous as it's the default for <pre>,
specifying 0.95em may also be pointless.
pre.special{wid th:40%}
pre.special.one {border:2px solid red;color:red;b ackground:blue}
pre.special.two {border:2px solid green;color:gre en;background:r ed}
pre.special.thr ee{border:2px solid blue;color:blue ;background:gre en}
Replace the "special, one, two, three" class names with something
meaningful.
<pre class="special one">foobar</pre>
<pre class="special two">foobar</pre>
<pre class="special three">foobar</pre>

Several ways, the easiest is if there are no other
<PRE> sections..
<head>
....
<style type='text/css'>
pre {
// this is a default for <PRE> sections AFAIU, redundant..
// font-family:monospac e;
font-size:0.95em;
width:40%;
// AFAIR, you can override *just* the color, see below..
border:black 2px solid;
}
</style>
</head>
<BODY>
<PRE STYLE="border-color:red; color:red;
background-color:#FBB; ">
This is red
</PRE>
etc..
[ ..And why are you presuming you can manually space
text so that it fits 40% of the width of the page?
(If that is what the spaces are for) ]

...hmmm. I always get suspicious when people pose
arbitrary examples that they think demonstrate the
problem/challenge they face. An *actual* page with
a 'real World(WideWeb)' example is generally better.

There's no "should" about it, either method can be used.

I've marked up song lyrics with the <pre> tag because it seems the most
appropriate type of markup for the type of data. This results in
inefficient use of horizontal space due to UA's default rendering of

To change that I'd have to specify a proportional font family, thereby
falling into the size pitfall that is associated with any sort of author
specified font family:
